A Pewaukee citizen Christopher Forncrook was arrested Tuesday morning, November 7th by police in Newark, Ohio. Investigators say he kidnapped a 12-year-old girl he met online. He drove from Pewaukee to Newark to meet the girl.

Forncrook is accused of kidnapping the girl Monday afternoon. Her parents reported her missing after she went on a bike ride and didn’t return. They later discovered she’d been talking to Forncrook on social media, and planning to meet him.

“It’s down to parenting, trusting your kids, knowing that they’re going to make the good choices,” a parent said.

Forncrook is being held in the Newark jail on charges of kidnapping and gross sexual imposition. He’ll appear in court Wednesday, when more charges are expected to be filed.
